Great experience in Riga!
I had a fantastic time on this tour in Riga! It was such a unique and fun experience to have a photo session while also learning about the city's historical facts. Uri was wonderful and made the whole experience very enjoyable. I also booked his photo tour in Vilnius and both were absolutely brilliant! Highly recommended if you want to take home great photos and learn about the city at the same time.

Fantastic experience from start to finish!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Uri in Riga!
He is so much more than just a great photographer; he is an absolutely fantastic tour guide.
Uri perfectly blended the two experiences together. I learned an incredible amount of history and fascinating facts about the city while we walked, and I now have stunning photos to look back on and enjoy. He is incredibly detail-oriented and patient, making sure every shot was just right without ever making the tour feel rushed.
If you are visiting Riga, booking this tour is a must. It was absolutely worth every penny, and I highly recommend it!

Gorgeous Photos, Fun Tour
Uri was fantastic! The photos are wonderful and he was friendly and personable and helped us be comfortable during the whole experience. Plus, we learned so much about Riga that we wouldn’t have known otherwise so I definitely recommend doing the photo shoot toward the beginning of your trip so that you can use all of Uri’s great information and tips for the rest of your stay in town. It was like touring with a really knowledgeable friend but the bonus is the fantastic photos we received just a few days later that are a million times better than anything we could’ve managed ourselves. It’s so hard to get great photos when traveling as a couple or family and I would do this again in a heartbeat!

A great way to create lasting memories!
I wanted to capture some great photos of my dad and I on our trip that weren't selfies or taken by strangers. Uri was an excellent guide through the Old City and a great photographer. He did a great job of making us comfortable and sharing the history of the city. My dad is a little older and Uri was good about looking after him and making sure that we were comfortable during the walk. This tour was alot of fun, very informative and has created some amazing memories that we'll be able to go back and look at. If you want some great photos of you, your family, friends, etc, on your trip, this is definitely worth the time and price.
Operator response
Thanks for your nice words, Elizabeth! It was a true pleasure meeting you and your dad, and I had a lot of fun capturing beautiful pictures of you both in Old Riga. Hope to meet you again sometime in the future, best wishes!
